Black metal fans have been eagerly awaiting and it’s finally here—Trelldom triumphantly returns with their long-awaited album, ‘…By The Shadows’. A journey seventeen years in the making, this album dives deep into the realms of the uncanny, reshaping extreme metal as we know it.
When the realm of black metal collides with the esoteric brilliance of an artist like Gaahl, the music transcends the boundaries of surreal and descends into a spellbinding chaos. ‘…By The Shadows’ is nothing short of a ceremonial rite into the heart of madness—it’s dissonant, it’s angular, it’s blearily psychedelic, and it unequivocally reeks of anarchy.
- ‘…By The Shadows’ breaks a 17-year silence, offering a cornucopia of auditory hallucinations that pushes the limits of extreme metal.
- The album is rich with the characteristic fervor and intensity that are hallmarks of Gaahl’s artistry.
- With each track, the listener is invited to partake in a ceremony of sound that dances on the edge of lunacy.
Every now and then, an album comes along that not only challenges the norms but breaks them down, reshaping a genre’s landscape. Trelldom’s latest release is a testament to this spirit of revolution.
